I've got something planned for everyone in the Potterverse, both of them. (mumbles something about player attrition rate)
Chekhov's Gun/Divide by Zero, executing now.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.There's a difference between moving through something quickly and tearing through something in the most half-assed way possible.
Against all tyrants.Aye.
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.If you want to explain the intervening time, I'm all ears. Otherwise I'm half-assing it forward and focusing on the players actions next in the event they will be in not what happened on autopilot.

In the meantime, get talking with each other.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.As Potterverse is going to take a few more posts, Pokeverse is free to do what they want to finish up the plot quickly until potterverse is at the Halberd.
If you want to just force things forward just say the word and you'll be at the Halberd. Or do both, finish up the plot while using a separate section for your actions on the Halberd.
Challenged Accepted. Give me six hours (I'm busy for the next two and I tend to procrastinate).
EDIT: Actually, I can't be assed. What's the point?

Against all tyrants.sooooooooooooooo,what is this i here about a reboot?
We've decided the old plot path wasn't working, mainly because we've got characters and plotlines too widely separated to manage, and because even the new GMs (anyone who isn't Cygan, including me) had little idea how to effectively handle the metaplot. New strategy, new scenarios. That's changing now. If you're not in the Potterverse you're in the Halberd. (At the moment I'm handling Potterverse as my own little fiefdom because it's still linked to the other RP and events here will affect events there.)
Also, points for Legionnaire. For being the first player to pick up on the little golden object despite it almost being advertised to Collette/Wings as "it's shiny and it's on the ground."
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.I don't think wings knows about the reboot. I'll tell him next I'm able.
Also, the golden thing is probably a bomb.
A BOMB
So,kurama is now on the halberd?
So it seems, aye. Take it up with Stephan if you want a story for how you got there.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.wings will be away until Sunday, it seems. May as well go on without Collette for a bit.
Against all tyrants.Aaaand here. We. Go.
We're moving again. Reboot, mark. If you aren't in the Potterverse/Glienicke Bridge you're in Halberd/Masada. They are connected in a way.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Also, you guys are free to post. You do realize that, right...?
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Legion and I already posted.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987I know, yes, and I'm advancing the Glienicke Bridge scenario.
Halberd/Masada, on the other hand, has one person posting so far, which is not an encouraging sign.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.I'm assuming AD is still where he was when he was last left? That place being Traverse Town.

Er, ask Stephan.
Here's the way things will go down: "Masada" is the temporary briefing-world, mainly because Traverse is too well-known at the moment. Nobody likes having an exposition interrupted by hordes of dark creatures, after all.
The Potterverse group will get to listen in to the exposition, even if they won't be physically present due to the blockade.
For now I'm handling Masada and the Potterverse/Glienicke Bridge scenarios, both of which are largely expository. Other groups are going to drop in at Masada as soon as they feel ready to get a move on.
Poke-verse, once again: have you gotten on the boat to talk to the G-Man yet?
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.At the moment Traverse Town is still in Traverse Town, yes. They'll have to get updated on the situation after Traverse Town.
I'm debating whether to have Dreamlanders start helping you two now or not, but as it gives you something to do I'll do it.
Put it this way, you two are farther ahead in the timeline so to speak than the others and they are still catching up to your point in time.
I handled the introduction of the Plasma Wisp and Blade Knight. But either of you guys can take control of them if you wish for the combat. If not they will act on their own.

They will act of their own accord for the moment in time Reiken. Unless Ryuu's player wishes otherwise. In the meantime I am the current and only player for Traverse.
Judging from Dragon's activity on another forum, I'm wagering he's not around at the moment.
Against all tyrants.Well, we'll see as I pmed Dragon. If I don't get a reply we move forward anyway and Ryuu will be automated.

Sorry. I was in New York.
It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.
There's fast-forwarding, and then there's skipping over crucial plan information for the sake of moving on. You're the kind of person who loves skipping cutscenes the first time through, aren't you?
